I have started printing my photographs in the darkroom. this is just the start, and i was experimenting. I was trying to break the rules, and from that get different effects on my images. I am still working on that, however each time i print a photograph i know that it could be the final image, i realized that accidents are important while printing in the darkroom. I did not clean my negatives on purpose, i rather not do so. I want my pictures to look dusty, old, and timeless, and for that i will use sepia toners . I am also thinking about scanning the images , and printing them very big for the exhibition, but i also want to keep the handmade prints. i looked at Starn twins. they print their photos very big , i will post some of the images that they have. I think it is a good idea to have both manual and digital prints exhibited together.
The series i shot for this week are self portaits. but i want to take pictures of other people. so next time we will see other female figures beside myself as well as animals. I will shoot the next series by the beach, i wish i could take nude photos. this is something that is limiting me in this project.

What is also important in my work is how i stage everything. For that I started looking at movies like Big Fish directed by Tim Burton.
